San Diego Police announced Sunday it will begin installing surveillance-equipped streetlights and automated license plate readers in Hillcrest and other locations ahead of Pride.The move will be made to"protect against hate crimes and attacks on mass gatherings" in the popular LGBTQ+ community center, SDPD said in their announcement.
